Machines shouldn’t make life or death decisions. It’s that simple. We need a treaty to #StopKillerRobots now.

Announcing the first AI for Peace Workshop @ ICLR 2026. The workshop aims to provide a forum for examining the relationship between AI research and its military, surveillance, and conflict-related applications. aiforpeaceworkshop.github.io

Normally “I’m proud of you” is something someone says to someone under their wing, but this time it’s the other way around Super proud of my advisor for putting this together! This stuff is important. Saying otherwise is like putting your underwear on over your pants, just doesn’t make sense

Workshop investigating military, surveillance, dual use, and ethical implications of AI technologies!

This is a very serious initiative. While AGI risk debates get much attention, we should worry more about the immediate danger from AI’s role in automating war and surveillance.

Couldn't be more proud of the amazing people I know organizing a conference on a topic that's been worth discussing for the longest time (or rather, the whole time) For anyone interested, please consider attending, or better yet, submitting!

Building bridges, Not weapons. What does AI really bring to our society? Are we ready to face the elephant in the room? 👉 Join the AI for Peace Workshop @ ICLR 2026!

CfP: AI for Peace Workshop @ ICLR 2026 This workshop creates a dedicated space within the ML community to critically address AI’s dual-use nature, militarization, and surveillance, while foregrounding peace-building, ethics, and international law. #AIethics #PeaceTech #ICLR2026

Great initiative... thanks to the organisers

Worried about AI’s military uses? We are too. We’re organising an ICLR 2026 workshop on AI research and military applications—dual-use risks, transparency, accountability, and ethical/legal governance & policy. Details + paper submissions: see Noa’s post and visit aiforpeaceworkshop.github.io.

Ok, I have a strong opinion on this, perhaps you can convince me otherwise: if you need an LLM to understand a paper for reviewing, perhaps you should not be a reviewer. And your argument is saved time, then perhaps you planned to not read all the details. Then again, you should not be a reviewer.

Having reasonably-sized open datasets & models up enables more eyes & brains to look at complex tasks, eg autonomous driving, but not only. A broader community can debug, break, understand & improve such models in novel ways that a single team working on it might have missed.

Such an inspiring keynote

📢 Unhappy about peer review at NLP/ML conferences? Here's a chance to do smth about it, and get an interdisciplinary PhD! NLP+discrete optimization at @itu.dk Project: interpretable methods for paper-reviewer matching Apply by Jan 6 for position DC6: www.cords-dn.at Master degree needed

@luwei56.bsky.social is there presenting EMMA!

It is time for the last poster session of #EurIPS featuring the Salon des Refusés papers! Looking forward to an hour of great scientific discussion

At the community discussion panel at @euripsconf.bsky.social Q1. Why do you see value in EurIPS? 20% voted for European collaboration

Super excited (and a bit nervous) to give a keynote tomorrow afternoon at #EurIPS. I'll be math, LLMs, and politics 🔥

Time for another AI art open call with @cvprconference.bsky.social 🤖🎉 Submit your artwork with/about computer vision for #CVPR2026 in Denver until 8th March Don't have a suitable work? You have months to make one 😃 Details: cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/... #creativeAI #AIart

A functioning peer-review system with top-level conferences had one advantage, which is now eroded: unknown authors doing excellent research got into the conferences and therefore had a voice. I doubt that an equivalent arxiv-only submission will have the same chances of success. 5/5

#KostasThoughts: Please stop using AI tools to write reviews. I want your authentic thoughts, even if they contain spelling, grammar, & factual mistakes. An LLM should not influence your judgment. The purpose of multiple reviewers is to provide diverse views and error checking.

Yes of course AI denfese is what Japan needs 🤦‍♀️

Iclr reviews and cvpr deadline on the same week is 💀

🤞🏾A few days left for #CVPR submissions. 🪩 If submitting a paper on composed image retrieval, test your method on i-CIR, the real-world, truly compositional dataset. #cvpr2026 #composed_image_retrieval #image_retrieval

We will be at EurIPS presenting our NeurIPS PC-rejected paper! Come and say hi 🙂

I'll be in Europe in December. First in EurIPS and then in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid). Drop me a message if you are there and want to meet :-)

#ICCV2025 is being a blast! The brilliant @ryan-ramos.bsky.social & @patrick-ramos.bsky.social twins are the best poster designers (see proof below!). Come and say hi today to our next poster from 14:30 - 16:30 HST at Exhibit Hall I, Poster #207.

This is today in less than 2 hours. Come by and say hi!

Looks like our paper's fate at NeurIPS has brought new people here, hi everyone! Maybe it's about time to introduce myself 👋 1/

This is not OK. I don't submit often to NeurIPS, but I reviewed papers for this conference almost every year. As a reviewer, why would I spend time trying to give a fair opinion on papers if it's what happens in the end???

Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉 At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

We are one of the unfortunate papers that didn't make the neurips cut-off despite being originally accepted. Second submission this year that gets rejected from #neurips2025 without any reasonable explanation (the other one was a workshop proposal).

The deadline for the Algorithmic Collective Action Workshop at NeurIPS'25 has been extended to August 29th! Please consider submitting work about power, control, resistance, and AI: acaworkshop.github.io

Couldn’t be more grateful for this #ICCV2025 collaboration! It turns out that some vision models have actually been encoding images’ processing and acquisition parameters (e.g., JPEG compression settings, camera model) this whole time For more info check out @stojnicv.xyz‘s thread!

The hidden flaws in your favorite foundation model: We've uncovered how subtle image metadata (JPEG params, camera type, etc.) systematically biases visual representations and consequently affect the object recognition ability. To be presented at #ICCV2025 as a highlight paper.
